Milorganite can actually be used at the time of planting new grass seed. The ratio to use is: 1 part seed to 4 parts Milorganite.

Milorganite can be applied any time during the growing season. However, for best results we recommend four annual applications on your lawn. Northern Grasses such as Kentucky bluegrass, Fescue, and Perennial Ryegrass should be fertilized four (4) times per year. For the last application, fertilize with Milorganite as late in the season as possible—just before the first deep freeze or snowfall. This fertilizer application, known as “dormant feeding,” encourages healthier, greener lawn in spring. When to Apply Application Rate Memorial Day, end of May 36 lbs per 2,500 sq ft July 4th, Canada Day 36 lbs per 2,500 sq ft Labor Day, early September 36 lbs per 2,500 sq ft Thanksgiving, mid November 36 lbs per 2,500 sq ft Southern Grasses, such as Bermuda, St. Augustine, Centipedegrass, Bahia, and Zoysia, should be fertilized four (4) times per year. Centipedegrass and Bahia grass prefer spring and summer feedings, and to help prevent winter kill, avoid fertilizing these varieties in the fall. Don’t fertilize southern grasses too late in fall. The grass is trying to go dormant and if you fertilizer you’re encouraging it to grow. This may cause your lawn to be less hardy as it enters cold weather and more susceptible to winter injury. The last time to fertilize in fall is one month before dormancy or the average first killing frost. When to Apply Application Rate Easter (after turf breaks dormancy) 36 lbs per 2,500 sq ft Memorial Day, end of May 36 lbs per 2,500 sq ft Labor Day, early September 36 lbs per 2,500 sq ft Early October (or when overseeding)* 36 lbs per 2,500 sq ft

Milorganite is safe for children and pets It’s non-toxic It’s free of chemical nutrients and pesticides Some dogs, for example, are attracted to the odor of Milorganite. As a result, you might find them rolling around in freshly fertilized areas, or eating it off the lawn or directly from the open bag! Here are a few tips to help deter your dog from its urge to taste-test Milorganite. • Monitor your dog after applying Milorganite to see if they show any interest in the product. • You may be able to reduce your dog’s attraction to Milorganite by watering your lawn after application. • You can reduce the problem by keeping your dog off the lawn for 24 hours after applying Milorganite. • Remove temptation and store Milorganite out of reach of dogs.

Watering is not necessary immediately after application. Milorganite will stay on the soil until rain or irrigation activates soil microbes that break it down into nutrients. Watering in Milorganite will ensure that the fertilizer achieves soil contact earlier and speed up the fertilizing process.

It will help to kill moss. To truly get rid off moss, as it is spread by spores, you will need to completely clean up moss from other areas of the garden like the roof, sidewalks and under shrubbery. This product is organic.
